T-Mobile $5/month 5GB Data Plan for Grandfathered/Classic Users

they said the same thing to me, basically that its for people who are eligible for a phone upgrade, they will get this price until they upgrade their phone.

she also said we can give you $10 off a month for 6 months without me even asking for it.

thanks.
Are you getting any corp discount?
family plan? how many lines?

I have been out of contract for years. Have the t-zones internet on my line, $25 unlimited android internet on my brothers, and no data on my mom's line. Would I be able to call and get $5 internet added to my mom's account?

When you are talking to the reps, do you have to threaten that you are cancelling in order to get the deals?

Looks like it doesnt work on grandfathered plans, oh well.

Depends, boy or girl?

i am in the same boat except 3 of my 4 lines have 200mb data @ 10 dollars per month, and the fourth line has 5 gb preferred for 20 per month - i was hoping to change all four data packages to the 5 per month package - did the CSR say that they could change the data on the lines with existing data?

Loyalty rep said to be eligible for the $5 data plan it needs to be 22 months since I last upgraded. Since I upgraded 5 months ago, I wasn't eligible. Is this true? Anyone have different luck?

Just spoke with the loyalty department and my head is spinning. Hopefully, someone can help me make some sense of this.

Currently:
3 lines (1 @ full upgrade eligible, 2 @ 9 months since last subsidized upgrade)
Family 700+1 Additional line+Family Texting+2 Pref Web (5GB)+1 200MB web-$10 loyalty discount (probably expires in a few months, I don't recall) = $120/mo

Offered:
Classic 1000+1 Additional line+3 Bridge to Value (2GB) = $100
This includes a 12 mo discount of $5/mo for the additional line, so I guess it'll go up to $105 in 2014.
Also, I was given an Unlimited Bridge to Value offer of $10/line. I think 2GB would suffice for my phones though.

EDIT: Reading above, seems strange that she told me the $5/mo Bridge to Value was 2GB when it's reported as 5GB in the first post. Will clarify that when she calls back on Tuesday.

This is all before the 10% corporate discount that I get.

The rep did confirm that I will lose the bridge to value plan if I use a phone upgrade.

But, she offered me an S3 for $180, Nexus 4 for $150 or One S for $130 WITHOUT using my upgrade.

Because of that, I'd be in place to move to a value plan without penalty in 9 months.

This something I should proceed with?

One other concern is that my kids are going to want the iphone. Seems like I might have to be on a value plan in order to get an iphone. I know there's nothing definite, but signs are looking like that might be the case. Loyalty has always stepped up for me though, so I wouldn't be shocked if there's a way around that.

And what happens when I do go to value? I basically pay the same as what I'd pay with this Classic offer, except I have to pay for my phones? If the phones are effectively worth $20/mo each, maybe I am better just staying on the Family plan I have now and continuing to get subsidized upgrades, no? When I get 3 new phones a year from now, won't I then be paying $160/mo on the Classic plan, when I could have received 3 subsidized phones and still be paying the $120/mo that I'm paying now? I'm all assuming about the same money down for a phone as well.

Not sure I understand how the value plan is good for me. I must be missing something.

Appreciate anyone's thoughts on this.

Bump. Anyone have any thoughts on this? The loyalty rep is calling me back tomorrow, so I need to make a decision.
